Bad Micheladas and a Blockbuster night...
This past week was pretty chill, started off with a couple of rented movies from Blockbuster (yes, we have BB in Guatemala... ). Thursday we watched "Junebug", a movie that came out about a year ago, which was extremely funny with a few sad parts. It takes place in North Carolina, with most of the characters having a heavy southern accent (which I find very amusing). Friday night we went to some concert thing (some friend's of a friend were singing) at this restaurant which absolutely SUCKS. When I was telling people were I was going, people were saying: "Why would you wanna go there? That place is terrible." I hadn't been there, so I didn't think it was gonna be that bad... Some friends ordered some martinis (horrible) and we ordered some micheladas (disgusting), both were undrinkable. But honestly, how do you screw up a michelada? And the martini had this horrible after taste... ugh!
After this bad experience, we headed over the "Rattle and Hum", this bar that's owned by this Australian dude, with the atmosphere being like a typical American bar (though not as many blondes). At some point while having some beers, the conversation turned towards breast implants, it wasn't me who brought it up... I swear, and how a friend of ours is thinking that before she gets married, she wants to "improve her image." She's good looking already and doesn't need breast implants (I'm against breast implants overall, though sometimes they're nice to look at, though I would never want my wife to her "babies" operated). This girl was saying how this would make her more beautiful and how she wanted to fill out her wedding dress, and after doing an impromptu survey, results came out that you should only do it becauseYOU want to do it, and not because someone is suggesting you should or because of the media (another result of the survey: Real beauty comes from within... but I'm not buying that bull crap.. hehe.)
Saturday I had my first basketball game since my ankle injury. Sorry to report we lost (only by four points), but glad to report that the ankle is feeling better and I was moving swiftly (swiftly for a tall guy). I had trouble jumping towards the end of the game... guess my ankle muscles are not as strong as they should be, as they were extremely tired. In the evening, we headed to Antigua Guatemala and my favorite bar Monoloco for some quesadillas and beers. Man, was the place packed... I ended up buying a Monoloco t-shirt for myself (it reads on the back: Spank the monkey!) and one for Marnix (just says Monoloco). Towards the end of the night, some Americans we know told us they were going to an afterparty, which we decided we should go... but once we got there, the place look very sketchy, and the girls were a little afraid to go in... so no afterparty for me! I must admit I was quite curious to see what was going on... (I was imagining heaving drinking and maybe consumption of other substances... with a touch of "Eyes Wide Shut").
Sunday I finished watching "Munich" (I had to pay late fees for both movies... fudge!) which is one of the longest movies ever. I think it ranks up there with "Dances with Wolves" and the first "Lord of the Rings" as one of those "your ass hurts due to sitting for so long and you move around and around" movies. Overall I liked the movie, but I thought I was going to enjoy it a bit more. Are there any other movie rentals worth getting (besides porno? Kidding...) Next on my list: Syrianna...
Cheers,

P.S. - Carlos Ruiz not making the MLS-All Star team is BS... I know he's hurt, but common!!! He's got 8 goals and 5 assists in 16 games played.
P.S. II - Bought three CDs over the weekend: "FIFA, Voice of the World Cup", along with Bob Marley's "Burning" and "Kaya", both the definitive remasters version.
